-=-=- original post -=-=-

Over the many many years of making videogames, I slowly started to create more and more silly background tunes to go in my games.

Most of these "Choons" have a standard feel to them, and since I make AGameAWeek, I've built up quite a library of these Choons.  Over the years I've taken to using the musical pseudonym "AL O'DARE" because that's silly, much like the resulting Choons.

Last year, I decided that, alongside making a standard game-usable Choon each week, I should maybe attempt some sort of remix album, taking melodies and chord structures from some of my most favourite videogames of the 80s, and doing a remix-of-sorts to make them more like my regular ingame Choons.

Not a remix, as such, more a reimagining.  A vaguely recognisable bit of the original, but ..different.

I created a full Album of 26 of these choons during the latter half of 2016.

For early 2017, I opted to do the same thing, but with classic Sonic The Hedgehog Choons.  That, too, has been coming along rather well, but I'm nearing the end of the album, now, with just 3 more choons to go..  It's time to start thinking about what could come next.

And that's when my love of Pulp re-appeared. Could I do a complete 26-track album of "A bit like Pulp" stuff?

I'm honestly considering giving it a go, so I've created track #1 as a test.

The resulting Choons in the album should be recognisable, but won't be something you can sing along to.  They're not remixes, they're ..  Something Borrowed... Something New....

I'd like to test the waters with Track One, Pulpish Acrylic, and hope that I don't get a massive lynch mob after me.

If you like it, I'll be back in about 3 weeks with Track 2, and then you won't hear the end of me and my silly album of choons, every bloomin' week, until it's done.

Let me know what you think, and feel free to shout at me for having done something so drastic!

Thanks for any/all comments.

Jayenkai (aka AL O'DARE)

And so it begins.
The Pulp'ish Album is officially a GO!
Each week, for the next 6 or so months, I'll be popping up and spamming about yet another generic sounding track.
Hopefully you don't all kick my arse, along the way, for "ruining" your favourites.

Unfortunately, since this is a "repeat" there's not much new in this post, other than alt-links.

Track One : Pulpish Acryllic
(You've already heard this one!)
http://agameaweek.com/Music?Pulpish=Acrylic - AGameAWeek Music - Permanent, and downloadable, unless I break something along the way!
http://soundcloud.com/alodare/pulpish-acrylic - SoundCloud - Will remain there for about 6 months, give or take.
http://youtu.be/CfWm5MIWnjk - YouTube - Same as in the first post.

Next week, Track two! Ooooh... Exciting!!

*Warning : Spammy bit*
Tracks are posted a week in advance, on my Patreon ( http://patreon.com/Jayenkai ) if you're too impatient to wait for the next one.


Any and all comments welcome.
Enjoy!

(Sorry..  Lots of edits.. This site has odd bbcode!!)

I've enjoyed flicking through these. Love the 8-bit thing. Much of an Anamanguchi fan, with their hacked hardware?

Like the graphics too - takes me back to the demo disc that came with the PS1, and the Amiga demo scene before that. Also, coming home after a night out circa '97 and sticking on BB2 or Channel 4. You'd have a couple of hours of obscure electronica accompanied by CGI animation - liquid metal spheres floating over checkerboard backdrops, that kind of thing - and I remember being fascinated at the glimpse into another world. (Have never been able to find any reference to it online, or spoken to anyone else who saw it). Old consumer tech still seems to carry that for me: nosalgia for the lost promise of the future.

Loved those Channel4 segments. Usually a Friday night, iirc.

youtu.be/cbG34c1qorQ

Mmm.. Retro CGI!!

Anamanaguchi, Perfume, YMCK, Caravan Palace, Cornelius, Spray, Knower, Dragonette and more are on my current favourites list, lately. I grew up with the best era of Pulp, and drifted off when the slower duller half of TIH started to bore me, then the depressingly uneventful We Love Life failed to keep me interested in the slightest.

Its nice to revisit my Pulp days, though. Im not sure if anyone else is enjoying these, but I am, so that ok :)

Cheers for the link - Mmm indeed! I'm quite fond of Perfume (found them and a few interesting things via the seemingly disbanded ItCameFromJapan podcast), might have to have a dip into the others you mention there. I'm digging your stuff though, keep putting it out...

Track Twenty - Pulpish Taken Back.

http://agameaweek.com/Music?Pulpish=Taken=Back - AGameAWeek - Permanent Home

https://soundcloud.com/alodare/pulpish-taken-back - SoundCloud

This one's for Ian.  I actually made this track, way way back when he first suggested it, but what with it being a "T" track, it's had to sit on hold, in the background, waiting it's turn.

Wow, that's impressive, I was only joking when I suggested it and never thought it would come to light.

Also, I have been listening to all the others as you have posted them but was going to wait until you have uploaded everything, listen again in one big go and provide comments then.

Not long to go, now, though. U,V,W,X,Y and Z.
At a rate of one-a-week, we'll be finished by new year, then you'll get to listen again in one big festive go :D

Track Twenty Three - Pulpish Will

Bit of a change, here.  Most of the Pulp'ish AL Bum is "Grab a bit of melody, play around with it."  This is kind of the opposite!.. Enjoy.. .. Maybe!?

http://agameaweek.com/Music?Pulpish=Will - AGameAWeek - Permanent Home

https://soundcloud.com/alodare/pulpish-will - Soundcloud

Another "Not Friday Yet!" release. The run up to Xmas has meant things are a bit "Whenever I get the time!" around here. Enjoy :D
